though it is a garden OF agricultural
promise. We can supply the ommission
by stating that in Yankton county corn
is from an inch to four inches high and
that it covers half the cultivated area OF
the county; that spring porkers and
calves can be counted by the thousands;
that small grain covers the ground with
it's dense masses Of waving green; that
cattle are up to their eyes in rich pastnr-
age; that fruit trees are casting their
blossoms and showing the full formed
fruit; that shade trees are in full leaf;
and that garden stuff is
growing old and is no longer
rare table luxury, We can epitomize
the past in the statement that Yankton
county has had nothing approaching a
crop failure since the ancient days of

Golden gate Girls.

An English visitor observed last week
to San Francisco Call reporter that the
longer he stayed here the more aston
ished he was az the physical superiority
H the ladies Of San Francisco to the
men. There is, he says, no comparison
between them. either in face, figure or
style. The remark has been made be-
fore, and its justice has been generally
acknowledged. It is worth while in
curing whether there is any discover
able ground for the difference between
the sexes.
Paysioiogists who f,elieve that the son
inherits the physical nature of the
mother, while the daughter ID cast in
the fathers mould, may possibly at.

"However much he may have been
pounded, Sparks is still commissioner of
the general land office of this country,
and will 30 remain for the present"
This is what Sparks says about him
self. There Is nothing in the language
which indicates change of heart or an
intention to become decent. On the
contrary he is stiff necked and defiant.
We very much fear that he will post
pone the day of repentance until he is
consigned for the long haul to the brim-
stone region. What conhagration
there will be when the two elements
come together. Mr.. Sparks must have
been seen when he was III bad humor, as
he goes on to remark in the same inter-
view:
But man OF intelligence, who has the
gall to hold an Office under democratic
administration, will wilfully abuse an
other servant of the same administration
is simply an internal rascal. y X 4:
Because the appropriations are in
adequate to manage business as 1t
ought to be, the commissioner is de-
nounced by those who want surveys
made, and black-guarded by scoundrels
who know better, like this rascal OF the
Sioux Falls Press.
This affair is assuming the dimensions
OF family row. The Sioux Falls Prese
has SAID no more about Mr.ieSparks
than many other newspapers have said
and no more than he earned long ago.
These are the remarks OF the Press
which produced the oataclysm of wrath:
Anything said in these times about
| Commissioner Sparks must necessarily j
smack of chestnutty flavor, but, how
ever much he may have been pounded
and however trite the subject may be
| It is nevertheless freshly exasperating to
hear of the hardship which his miserable
administration of land matters is work.
ing among the settlers of this territory
The people of the southern Black Hills
region are almost ready for revolt, il
| they only knew how to make it, on ac.
count of Sparks failure to give them
relief by ordering survey OF the lands
which they occupy. They have
been unable to get anything more
than squatters' titles, on accoun,
of there having been no survey, and some
OF them have had to work in the minet
and mills on account of failure OF crops
last season, thus leaving their claim,
open to jumpers. Eight cases in one
neighborhood are reported and the
whole section is torn up with strife
and qusrreling resulting from Sparks
dilatoriness. It is simply scandalou,
that interests SO important to so many
honest settlers, who have right to de
pend upon the care and protection O
their government, should be left to thu
caprice, laziness and incompetency o
such man.

Colonel John FL, King writes relative
to the Chamberlain Yankton- LeMsrs
railroad survey of few years ago and
says the survey cost HIM personally over
seven hundred dollars more than he COL
lected from the towns along the route.
He states that Baltimore railroad par
ties agreed to pay him for the survey
and that he was to compensate
the men who did the work, one
half from the contributions of
towns and the other half from.
money promised by the Baltimore men,
The latter never fulfilled their agree
ment, but Colonel King says he paid
every one Of the surveyors out OF his own
pocket and settled with the chief en-
gineer to the satisfaction OF that gentle
man. Some good, he thinks, is coming
out of his labors, as he first directed the
attention OF the Illinois Central to the
Yankton ronte and he now has assurances
that that road expects to come to Ysnk-
ton because OF his pioneer efforts. He
went into the original project In good
faith, did all he could to oarry it to O
successful termination and still remains
loyal to southeast Dakota, though he
is compelled by many failures
to seek business elsewhere. This much
is due Colonel King, as his connection
with the LaMars survey has been or til
cised.

The ,raxwen Lard Patients.

Washington, May 1l-As sug-
gested by acting the commissioner
of the general land office in his letter
yesterday, the attorney general sent for
Gen. b. f. Butler to-day to talk over
the proposed application for re-arg1-
ment to be filed with the United States
supreme court in the Maxwell land
grant. The secretary to-day requested
the attorney general to carry out the
commissioner recommendations. 1t is
generally believed at the interior depart
ment that Gen, Butler will be employed
as counsel in the case and that an effort
to secure re-argument will be made
OF the result there seems to be little
question, As the court stated in its
decision, nearly all the questions had
been passed upon before by the court
and nothing really remained except to
reiterate them. The case was decided
by rules that have long been established
by the court and as Gen !.
Maurice, OF the attorney
generals Office, says, the case was yigor-
ously urged and every point thoroughly
presented to the department of Justice
at the former. hearing. The commIs-
sioner OF the general land office, who is
greatly averse to considering the action
Of the supreme court, finally talked for
some time of bringing new suit for the
cancellation of the Maxwell patents in
New Mexico. The fact that any such suit,
even if won by the government, would
take its natural course on error or ap-
peal to the very circnit court whose de-
oision in the matter the supreme court
sustained last month, seems to have no
significance to Mr.. Sparks, and he ad-
| vised the secretary to request the attor-
ney general to bring such suit. Gen.
Buffers proposed attack upon the val
idity of the grant on the ground of non.
compliance with Mexican law is certain,
ly new and ingenious point, and it has
already become subject of discussion
with prominent land lawyers here as te
the value of the proposition.

Blessings In Disguise.
A Startl ing Showing Of the Might
Hav @ Been but for War, Fam
inc, Pestilence and Carnage.

Never was charity so general as in
the present time, and in no land so
universal as hire. Never was q coun-
try SO blessed as ours by the absence
of the great calamities that constantly
threaten hum an life and health. But
what would be the result of contin-
uance, for centuries, of such happy
condition, and how would it affect the
future of man Take for granted
that the world is but six thousand
years old, that its inhabitants all
sprang from single pair-Adam and
Eve suppose the virtue, temperance
and the benefcient traits of peace and
good will to all prevailed at the be-
ginning, and had been continued to
the present time. What would then
be the condition of mankind ? The
answer comes from all sides A won
derful prosperity and happiness. Let
US calculate. 1t is very reasonable to
suppose that community whose
members practiced peace and good
will. who were virtuous and temper
ate in all things, would, in the ordi-
nary course of things, double in pop
ulation every twenty years. Yet, to
be entirely within all bounds, we will
suppose it to double only once in
century. Now, starting with the SIM
gle pair in the year one, and doubling
their increase every hundred years, it
is found that in five thousand years
which would correspond to the year
A. d. S87-there would be 2,25l, ,799,-
sl3,6S5,24S virtuous and peace-loving
souls On our planet. This would be
over eleven millions to every square
mile. While at six thousand years,
or the present year of 1881, the pop
ulation would have so increased that
every square foot of the entire area of
our globe would be compelled to ac-
commodate 424 persons. Taking the
actual land at three-6fths OF the whole,
leaving out the seas end oceans but
including such balmy spots as the
North Pole and the Desert of Sahara,
the number of persons to the square
inch would be fve 1t is quite posi-
BILE that long before reaching such q
point peace and good will would have
given place to practices more akin to
war and determination.
Is it not then to these very courses
of our race" War, Pestilence, Famine
and Intemperance, that we of to-day
owe our standing-room and existence?
What would happen if there was not
scme outlet, and will not the time
come-if all the world were as nicely
behaved as optimists desire-when
there will not be space enough to
breathe in Part of this finds its re-
ply in the pithy line of Wordsworth,
Carnage, too, is Gods daughter"
